    But even 6-2 (if Michigan looses) will be better than the Sec. who won their first game today.
    You are welcome, Badgers.

        No pressure... Geez.

        That game pretty much had to end any discussion of strength of schedule mattering that much. Based on the bowl games, Bucky's conference schedule was tough enough.

        I was bummed at Miss St won, as they are showing the opposite rather nicely.

          So, what does a 7-0 run by the B1G mean to the folks who thought the conference was weak?

            I'm guessing: "7-0 prior to NYD is the equivalent of winning the NIT."

              At the very least we learned the Big Ten was better than the Pac 12.

                David Shaw just won Coach of the Year

                Stanford went 9-5, including a loss to San Diego State and two losses to Southern Cal.

                      The award honors scholarship, leadership and integrity, as well as success on the field.


                      Stanford has earned an Academic Progress Rating (APR) score of 985 and a graduation success rate of 96 percent under Shaw. Clemson, Duke, Northwestern and Wisconsin are the only other FBS teams to earn APR public recognition awards from the NCAA in each of the past four years.
                      That’s less controversial then.

                        But three of the four schools mentioned, Clemson (11-1 regular season, national semifinalist), Wisconsin (11-1 regular season), and Northwestern (9-3 regular season) did as well or better.

                          And wins over top 10 teams in UW and ND. And a division title. Also, the academic stuff. And probably it's a somewhat career recognition of where he's kept the program at with the academic constraints.

                            Also this:

                            "In the community, Shaw represents the Pac-12 on the AFCA Ethics Committee and is one of 18 individuals named to USA Football's newly created Football Advisory Committee. Last year, he was the only head football coach named to the NCAA Commission to Combat Campus Sexual Violence. In addition to his work with the commission, Shaw has been a leading advocate of the Set The Expectation program, aimed at working to end the culture of sexual assault and domestic violence among college and high school athletes. Stanford players became the first university in the country to sign the Set The Expectation student pledge, stating they would use their platforms to speak out against sexual assault and violence against women."
                            So basically, unlike the Heisman, this award actually considers integrity.

                              RE: Clowny hit- in theory, it was a very hard, game changing, hit. But if that had happened a year later, he would have been ejected from the game for targeting. (recall that the crown of his helmet hit Smith's chin pretty squarely and directly.

                              Yet it's still considered one of the best moments in a football game.

                              Why is a hit that was likely to cause concussion damage still considered such a great hit? For a sport to really pretend to care about the players and hits, that play should not be highlighted as a good one. That's exactly what you don't want.

                              South Carolina could have won that game in some other way, so I'm not saying that it should have changed the result, nor is it that it was against Michigan (who I am a homer for). Even at the time, it could have been considered spearing- since he led with the crown of his helmet. It's a play that is very not allowed today (anywhere), yet is still hailed as something special. This sport makes no real progress.

                              • South Carolina is not doing well against Michigan, but Michigan only has 2 FG to show for it.
